Hermit's Rest, Historical shelter in Grand Canyon National Park, United States.
Hermit's Rest features thick stone walls, wooden beams, and a large fireplace, creating a natural integration with the Grand Canyon landscape.
Built in 1914 by architect Mary Colter, the shelter provided travelers with a resting place after their eight-mile buggy rides through the canyon.
The structure represents a crucial example of National Park Service design principles, incorporating local materials and traditional construction methods.
Visitors can access maps, supplies, drinking water, and restroom facilities at this terminus point of the Hermit Road scenic route.
The building's exterior stonework includes deliberately placed rocks with lichen growth, ensuring the structure appears older than its actual age.
